Exhibit Launch: Gifts of the Ancestors

A brand new exhibit is coming together at the Rossland Museum! Our new permanent exhibit "Gifts of the Ancestors: Crafts & Knowledge of the Sinixt Way" will formally open Thursday, November 16th as part of the expansion and redevelopment of Sinixt content at the Museum. Incorporating stories, crafts, and ancestral baskets entrusted to our care by Sinixt Elders, Matriarchs, and knowledge-keepers, this new exhibit represents another step towards our goal of decolonizing the Museum and supporting Sinixt cultural resurgence. Join us for a Tobacco Offering Ceremony, a Blessing of the new exhibit, a showing of the short film Learning mxiɬp, and time to mix and mingle while taking in the new display.

Veterans Week 2021 at the Rossland Museum & Discovery Centre

This year marks the 102nd observance of a day of remembrance. The first occurred in 1919, one year after the hostilities of the First World War ended. A mere 21 years later, the world would be thrown into chaos once again as World War II was declared on 1 September 1939. Rosslanders made up over 600 of the 1.6 million Canadians that served in these two global conflicts. Countless more would volunteer at home, contributing however they could. This ranged from rationing, to salvage committees, to helping with the local A.R.P. (air raid precautions) chapter.
